1) Connect a DB9 crossover serial cable (null modem) between the ATTO FibreBridge serial port
and one of the computer's serial COM ports. A gender changer or DB-9 to DB-25 converter may
be needed depending on the cables being used.
2) Enable the computer’s serial port and initiate a terminal emulation link.
3) Set the following serial parameters in your terminal program:
a) Bits per second: 9600
b) Data Bits: 8
c) Parity: None
d) Stop Bits: 1
e) Flow Control: None
4) Use ASCII as the terminal type. Echo needs to be on.
5) Refer to the FibreBridge Software manual for details on configuring the bridge using the Services
menu or command line Interface.
Accessing the ATTO FibreBridge over the Ethernet Port
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides SNMP and Telnet based monitoring and management for the
FibreBridge 2200R/D and 3200R models either through a command line interface, menu system or
graphical interface (BridgeTools).
The default IP address is 10.0.0.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These
parameters can be changed using the RS-232 Interface or Telnet.
Setting up the IP Address using the RS-232 port
The ATTO FibreBridge should first be configured for the network using the RS-232 port. It is
possible to directly connect to the bridge using the default IP address. However, it is not
recommended. To use the default IP address, skip to the next section. To set up the IP Address
using the RS-232 interface, do the following:
1) Connect a DB-9 serial cable to the ATTO FibreBridge serial port and establish a link as described
above.
2) Enter the menu system by typing MENU at the prompt:
a) At the FibreBridge Main Menu, select option FibreBridge Configuration
b) At the FibreBridge Configuration Menu, select option Network Configuration
c) At the Network Configuration Menu, select option IP Address
d) Enter the desired IP Address
3) To set the IP Subnet Mask, follow the instructions below:
a) At the FibreBridge Main Menu, select option FibreBridge Configuration
b) At the FibreBridge Configuration Menu, select option Network Configuration
c) At the Network Configuration Menu, select option IP Subnet Mask
d) Enter the desired IP Subnet Mask
4) To set the IP Gateway, follow the instructions below:
